I've lost 30 lbs since October by just starting to walk and doing some exercise at home. I also try and run a bit during my walks, so to be honest, I thought the 1st week of this would be a doddle. HA! god, the last 10 seconds of those 60 second runs seems to drag and how quick does the 90 second rest go?! But felt a real sense of achievement at the end, especially when Laura tells you you've run for 8 minutes - 8 whole minutes!! During one run, I looked up (I usually look at my feet so I don't see how far I have to go), the sun was shining and even the music playing was OK and I actually laughed So looking forward to the next session already
OK, 1st session done!: I've lost 30 lbs since... - Couch to 5K
OK, 1st session done!

Well done, the first run is the hardest. Keep looking up, it does make it easier, so does smiling (honest!)

Great stuff on completing the first session! I'm another who focusses just a little ahead so I don't get hung-up on how far I've run or how much further to a certain point.
It really does get easier, honestly! I barely finished the third run of my first session back in October, and yesterday I ran 10K!! Just have faith in the programme and keep the positive outlook.

'achieve' (hmmm this jogging lark hasn't improved my spelling in the slightest
